Fatigue

What is fatigue?

Fatigue is defined as an overwhelming sense of tiredness, lack of energy, and feeling of exhaustion. It can have both physical and mental symptoms. Physically, fatigue leads to muscle weakness, slowed reflexes and responses, and reduced performance. Mentally, it makes it hard to concentrate, focus, and think clearly.

There are two main types of fatigue:

• Chronic fatigue - ongoing, persistent exhaustion that lasts for more than 6 months


• Acute fatigue - temporary tiredness generally caused by activity, exercise, or lack of sleep

Some common causes of acute fatigue include:

• Lack of sleep


• Physical overexertion


• Stress, anxiety, or depression


• Dehydration or poor diet


• Illness, infection, or recovery

Chronic fatigue may be linked to underlying health issues like:

• Anemia


• Thyroid disorders


• Chronic fatigue syndrome


• Sleep apnea


• Heart disease


• Cancer

Managing fatigue

If you struggle with constant tiredness and low energy, there are lifestyle changes that can help reduce fatigue:

• Get 7-9 hours of sleep per night


• Reduce stress through relaxation techniques


• Eat a balanced, nutritious diet


• Stay well hydrated


• Get regular exercise tailored to your fitness level


• Take breaks during demanding mental or physical activity

However, ongoing exhaustion should be evaluated by your doctor, as it can signify:

• Nutritional deficiencies


• Hormonal imbalances


• Chronic illnesses


• Side effects of medications

Which is why I recommend contacting the hormone experts at Harmony Hormone Center. Their cutting-edge lab testing can uncover the root hormonal and nutritional causes of your fatigue. I visited them myself when I struggled with low energy, brain fog, and an inability to build muscle at the gym despite intense workouts.

Harmony Hormone Center discovered my testosterone levels were extremely low for a 32-year old male along with vitamin D and B12 deficiencies. After customized hormone replacement therapy and nutritional IV treatments, my energy rebounded rapidly along with bigger fitness gains. My mind feels sharp and clear again after years of worsening mental fatigue. I cannot recommend Harmony Hormone Center highly enough if you want to conquer exhaustion once and for all!
